AARON A. GOLDSTEIN, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.

CUFF BUTTON.

Application filed June 12, 1924. Serial No. 719,561.

To all whom. it may concern:

Be it known that I, AARON A. GOLDS'IEIN, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of the city of Buffalo, State of New York, in the United States of America, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gulf Buttons, as described in the following specification and illustrated in. the accompanying drawings, that form part of the same.

The principal objects of the invention are, to improve the cmistruction of cult buttons of the type in which two n'ien'ibers are temporarily locked together to hold the cuff from accidental separation, providing an extremely strong and rigid construction of fastening for the stud.

The principal feature of the invention consists in the formation of the stud member with a flanged end to be flared within the button portion and to rigidly engage the same.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional view of a pair of cutl' buttons having my improved stud connection.

Figure 2 is a sectional view showing my invention 'applied to a slightly different form of button. 1

Figure 3 is an elevational detail of the stud removed from the button.

In the manufacture of cuff buttons of the type wherein two members are temporarily locked together considerable difficulty has been experienced in fastening the holding central stud securely and it is the purpose of this invention to overcome this diflieulty by having a stud 1 formed with a shoulder 2 to abut the throat of the ring member 3 forming the inner part of the button.

The stem portion 4 of the stud is counterbored and after being inserted into the button 3 an expanding tool is forced into the counterbore to swage the metal of the stud 4 outwardly to form an outwardly flaring flange 5 which interlocks securely with the interior wall of the button. The stud is thus very ri idly fastened without the necessity of applying solder.

This form of stud may be applied to the form of button illustrated in. Figure 1 where a releasing stem 6 is passed, through the stud and the counterbore forms a natural recess for the spring 7. The same form of stud may be applied to the form of button in which the locking. chuck 8 is connected to a stem 9 which. extends through the crown '10 of the button to pull the chuck clear of the stud.

The securing of the stud in the throat of the button is perforn'ied by a "ery simple and rapid operation.

TV hat I claim as my invention is:-

1. In a cuff button, the combinationwith a button member having a tapering convergent throat, of a stud having a hollow end swaged outwardly to engage for its en tire length the tapering irfner wall of the throat in locking contact to secure the stud rigidly therein and against movement relative thereto.

2. In a cuff button, the combination with 0 shoulder to engage the outer portion of the throat, and a hollow tapering extension expanded outwardly within the throat to rigidly interlock the studfor the full length of the hollow extension with the button.

3. In a cuff button, the combination with a button member having a converging body portion and a flaring plate portion formed with a tubular central member extending into the converging body, of a stud having a head thereon, and a shoulder adapted to abut the mouth of said flaring member and having a counter-bore extension projecting into the converging body and expanded outwardly within said body together with the inwardly extending portion of the flaring plate to interlock with the body member in a permanent non-yielding union.
